Elemental vs Sourdough
Elemental and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Elemental reads as grey, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 66 for Elemental vs 62 for Sourdough — means Elemental will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
